Guild Wars 2

Okay, I’m a vet at this game. I’ve been playing since launch.

For all those people thinking they just got screwed over because GW2 Core game is included with the pre-order of HoT, you are missing the point.

In order for GW2 to survive and and thrive in today’s MMO market, they need PEOPLE! This marketing move is all about bringing in more fresh players into the game, which benefits ALL PLAYERS! So please, stop kittening. If you really want more, then ask for more. Keep it positive, please!

SUGGESTION: If a player already owns GW2 Core Game, then if he or she pre-orders the deluxe or ultimate versions, then they should receive 8,000 Gems instead of 4,000, or maybe vets should get a 25% discount on all Gem Items until HoT is released.

Is the HoT expensive? That is relative. Considering there is no monthly subscription, I think it is fair, and I will be purchasing the ultimate pre-order option. I have spent WAY more money on other forms of entertainment that certainly doesn’t last nearly as long as an MMO – for example, pizza and a movie.

So, you are saying what we they already offer is a good idea, and then make suggestions anyway?

The bundle is good and it should attract new players. Not offering a different deal for older players is the problem. They are forcing us to buy a product exclusively designed for new players.

oh yeah? remember this HOT is an expansion. although you can consider as a NEW game. who knows?? and they still need to fight in the market.

Do you think they will have enough NEW player to compare other brand new game in the market? what the advertisement will be? “HOT the brand new game” ….lol

dont forget HOT still under GW 2.. is two. is not GW3..

ANET isn’t forcing you to do anything. They are simply trying to pull in fresh and new players. Few people are going to spend $100 for a core game and expansion pack all at once. If the GW2 community wants us to grow, then start sounding a bit more positive.

I offered a suggestion, because it wouldn’t hurt to do so.

Bottom line is that GW2 is all about the bottom line. For the amount of entertainment we get, it is pretty kitten cheap considering the time, talent, and expertise it takes to make and develop a video game.

All I’m saying people, is to throttle back on all the negativity! We got an expansion coming and I can’t wait!

It’s GW 2.1

they are forcing me to choose between my existing progress and the “free bonus” I can’t get otherwise

in this situation the right decision is to abstain and not buy the dlc

What’s the price for the base game now? Can i buy the base game only? If i can’t then the price for base game is included in the 50usd HoT.
It’s just anet trying to see if people are willing to buy a 2 in 1 feature pack patch for 50usd. Cos after this there will be no base game/expansion differentiation. It’s all just a 50usd patch ^^
